November 12, 2006 “There Is Only A Handful of Flour In My Jar And A Little Oil In My Jug.” ‘Two Small Coins Worth A Few Cents.” “ A handful of flour and a couple of small coins.” The importance of the two stories in today’s Scripture is not because one woman received from the Prophet Elijah a miraculous source of flour and oil, or that the poor widow who gave all she had received the blessing of Jesus. You can only give what you have. Now that might seem obvious at first glance, no? But how many of us are truly content with what we have? I’m not referring to one’s financial resources, though the two stories do seem to highlight an economic situation. We live in a highly competitive world. Youngsters from early on in life are taught to compete, either literally on the sports field or figuratively in the academic or business world. We are robbed of contentment almost from the moment we become aware of ourselves. We are taught to compete even with ourselves: “today you spoke one new word, tomorrow you can speak two;” “today you took three steps, tomorrow you’ll take three more;” “after high school you’ll go to college and get a really good job;” “you’ve really accomplished a phenomenal amount of work today, the past ten years, your whole lifetime!” We live in a highly comparative society. We search for the proverbial “better mouse trap” or vaccine or fuel injection engine or whatever. It’s hard to just have a They gave “handful of flour, a little oil, or two small of what they had, coins” in a world which believes that “more freely and generously. is better or “bigger is better.” But suppose that's all you really have...or are? Suppose in the “latest clinical studies,” as they say, you come out with a “bit of flour, oil, and a few small coins”? The two women in today’s Scripture possessed a quality which the Spirit considers worthy of emulation. They gave of what they had, freely and generously. Contrary to the world’s norms, each woman gave whatever it was she had, no matter how small or insignificant it might have appeared to others. Each of them is a distinct personality, and if we were going to write a story about each, these women would not be “plaster-casts” of each other. But the point is: they gave what they had; who they were. It may seem to us that we don’t have much more than a bit of flour, some oil and a few coins. After all, we are who we are. I must do the things of Bob Grib and try to share my “Bob Gribness” spontaneously and as generously as I can. I cannot give Mother Teresa or St. Ignatious of Loyola or St. Francis of Assisi. In fact, I cannot even give Jesus Christ. Ah, but I can be and give the “Christed Bob Grib.!” After all, isn’t that what my Baptism did for me - “Christed, Christened” me? Flour, oil, a few coins - Voila! Father Bob Grib, S.J. RCIA Traveler/Seeker November 12, 2006 Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time St. Juliana CCD Program We are very proud of our St. Juliana CCD Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) Program. We keep growing and growing! We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:45 until 8:00pm. Our Program has 325 students from 210 families. The students attend 38 public/private schools. We have a wonderfully diverse enrollment. Our students are taught by 23 dedicated teachers who have volunteered to share their time and faith with the children in our program. We are grateful to the following teachers: 1st - Dotty DePetro, Kathy Fergus, Rose Gulliford, Therese Jennings 2nd - Mary Berg, Linda Ebrom, Eileen Moriarty 3rd - Pam Ebrom, Alice Harris, Mary Rottman 4th - Dan & Betty Cieplik, Pat Trevino 5th - Diane Damert, Kristina Krueger, Ann Schoening 6th - Carol Beucher, Bernie Rieman, Lisa Maskala Streff 7th - Sharon Brabson, Jane Lidgus, Gayle McAuliffe 8th - Pete Schmidt. We are also grateful to the 15-20 people who volunteer in our program. We asked our students why they liked CCD and why they thought it was important. The following are some of the students responses: FIRST YEAR: Brianna Gruber - I like CCD because we learn about God and His Son Jesus. We learn why God is important to us. Gabrielle Buikema - CCD is important because it makes you smarter. We learn a lot about God. Angie Anderson - I like CCD because we learn about God and Jesus. I have fun. I like the first day. We read about how God made the world. John Cardella - I like CCD because I like to learn about God. I love God. God is the maker of the world. God is powerful. Nicholas Udell - I like CCD because I like to learn about God and all the holy people. When I come to CCD I like to learn. Kacie Bemis - I like to learn about the Holy Spirit. Eric Lucchesi - I like to learn about God. SECOND YEAR: Aidan Fallon - I like CCD because it is fun! Mary Hehn - I like CCD because I can't wait for my Communion. Kathleen Gross - I like CCD because Ms. Moriarty is my teacher and I know her. I also think it is important because you learn about the saints, learn how to say the rosary, we get our First Communion at the start of next year, we learn about priests, God and Jesus and we do a lot of worksheets to help us learn about the church and creation. Joey DiFilippo - I like CCD because I learn more things about God. I like CCD because we can go to Church. I like the priest, Father Steve. He's nice to us. And Page 3 I like to learn things. Mike O'Malley - I like CCD because you can pray to God and you can sing to God. Sam Kurzydlo - I think CCD is important because we pray, learn about Jesus, and have fun. We salute the Lord and we pray for him. The Lord guides us and forgives us. We sing songs about him, and wear our rosaries with pride. I respect the Lord. That is why I like CCD and think it is important. THIRD YEAR: Andrew Schultz - I think that CCD is important because you get to learn about God, Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all the other people. Ben Calpino - I think CCD is important because it teaches you about God. Greg Halik - I like CCD because I have a good teacher and I learn about the Lord and Jesus and Mary. Emma Boyd - I like CCD because you learn about lots of cool things like stories about Jesus. I've always loved everything about Jesus! I love CCD! Kristen Apel - I like CCD because I like learning about God. It’s really fun. I wish I could come everyday. Alec Wojda - I like CCD because I like to learn about the Holy Family and the celebrations and ways to pray and how to pray. FOURTH YEAR: Casey McKenna - CCD is very important because we need to know religion. If we don't know religion we won't know anything about being nice to other people or about most of the details other than about Christmas or the other holidays. I think CCD is fun because I think that it is good to learn about God and that by going to CCD you in a way make God feel good. You make him feel good by letting him know you worship him, by praying for others to let God and the people you are praying for that you care. Lacey Schultz - CCD is important to me because we learn new things about Jesus every Wednesday. It is important to me because I need to know about Jesus so when I'm older I know everything I need to know and do. I like CCD because I get to learn new things and I get to read and serve in masses and I get to teach my own CCD class. Caroline Hoffman - I like CCD because I get to learn about God and all the great things he did in life to make us exist. Learning about God is making me believe in God even more. I learn about him. I also enjoy reading about God and wish I could do good just like him. I think that it was amazing how God could do all of these things. I love CCD because of all of these things God does. Elizabeth Byrne - I like CCD because we do lots of fun activities. This year I am going to like CCD even more because we are going to do the Christmas play. I love doing CCD. CCD Rules! Sarah Espinoza - I like CCD because I like learning about God and I like my teacher, Mrs. Cieplik. I also love getting involved in CCD every year. Kelly Cullerton - I love CCD class so much and I love going to it. It is fun to pray to God so much. I would go every day. I want to pray at CCD and I love the kids a lot. So I come on Wednesday to CCD. Look for 5th though 8th grade’s response next week.

Blessed Henry Suso says that Jesus will grant the petitions of the faithful in His Eucharistic presence sooner than in any other place. November 12, 2006 Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 9 6th Grade Bible Ceremony The sixth graders were presented with bibles at a special prayer service on October 11th. The first scripture reading at the prayer service was from Isaiah which reminded the students that the word of God is like the rain and snows that water the earth, causing her to bear much fruit. The next reading was from Mark's parable of The Sower and the Seed. This parable called the students to hear God's word with an open heart and to be like the seed that falls on good ground and yields a fruitful harvest. The students promised to receive the word of God and to study it with love and respect. The students and the bibles were blessed after which each student was called by name to come forward and receive their Bible The sixth graders presented the fourth and fifth grade students with mustard and pumpkin seeds for their class prayer tables to remind them to let the word of God take root in their hearts. Polite Pumpkins First Graders are learning to live as Jesus did. They are trying very hard to be "polite pumpkins" during the month of October. Each polite pumpkin is given a special pumpkin to wear and one to add to the First Grade Polite Pumpkin Patch. What a fine crop of polite pumpkins our first graders are!
